Moe,
Check 'ADA' for code requirements in legal detail.
Ramp should have a landing at the door with clearance for opening the
door and you.
What about an 'air door'?
That takes less floor space than a swinging door.

Phantom has some invisible screen doors. THey basically roll up
horizontally when you don't need them. I think Lowes or Home Depot may
carry them.

What can I use to replace the storm door just to keep out the flies?

If you have the old storm door it may be easy enough to cut a bit off
of the bottom, add a filler strip if the bottom is hollow and remove
any sharp edges and rehang it.

Probably the least good suggeestion, but my house has no screen or
storm door, and a solid front door so there is no light in the hall.

I just cut a piece of vinyl screening the size of the doorway, put
velcro at the top of it, and the other half of the velcro on the top
door molding, and hung the screen in the doorway. I'm sure they could
get in thought the sides, but otoh, I'm sure a lot fewer do that way.
I only used it for one summer, for some reason, but I think it worked
pretty well. My door moldings were white so I got self-adhesive white
velcro. It's still there but I don't even notice it.
